Ooh! Do you think you could introduce me? I know they can't speak about the winner yet, but I'd love to just get some background and history on the use of ZGIs!

Hello there! I’m keen to chat to someone who knows something about these of zero-gravity indicators in spaceflight—you know, the cute plushie toys! Who might be good to speak to about that?
NEW: This past weekend, people in Koblenz, Germany, found themselves asking an unusual question: Is my house insured against meteorite damage?
That newly aerated house is the latest building to fall victim to one of these rocky space vandals.

Do you live in Koblenz, Germany? Did you see the fireball? Maybe you happen to live in the house that got damaged by the meteorite fragment! If so, let me know here and get in touch via email for a story I’m reporting on: robingeorgeandrews.uk@gmail.com

Ooh! Where did that image come from? Whose is it?
Cool! I’m just wondering who I’d know to ask about this…
Yo! Who’s heard about the meteoroid that exploded above Germany and showered an area with meteorite fragments, causing some damages? Any info would be greatly appreciated! www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...
NEW: Remember in 2022 when NASA booped an asteroid with a kamikaze spacecraft to prove they could swat away Earthbound space rocks and save the world?
Well it turns out they booped it *so hard* that the bigger asteroid nearby ALSO got booped!

NEW: Sad news for those wanting the Moon to be hit by a sizeable asteroid: it ain’t happening, at least not in 2032.
But at least we now that JWST is a surprisingly good asset for tracking dangerous space rocks! :)

*rings bell*
Come one, come all, lend me thine ears, let me tell you of the devious asteroid felled by Earth’s most nimble-minded wizards…
*ahem*

Boo!

NEW: Rather sadly, asteroid 2024 YR4 – the one that had a 4% chance of hitting the Moon in 2032, creating an impact blast you would be able to see with the naked eye – is now slated to miss it by a big margin. Boo. BOO!
But it does show how JWST can be used as a planetary defense tool when needed!
NEW: Are we the descendants of alien microbes that hitched a ride on meteors shorn off Mars? Probs not…but scientists wondered if it’s possible for bacteria to survive asteroid strikes.
So they fired artificial asteroids at them in a lab to find out.

Wine valleys. Seafood extraordinaire (and novel). Fancy stays and room service days. Cooking classes. Art. Ancient history. Scaling heights, seeing the sights.
This is a fantastic story.

Panchromatic horizons. Volcanoes. Flamingos. Vicuñas. Geysers. Magellan galaxies. Deep space through deep time. Dunes as waves on seas of sand.
Unforgettable.

Serrated mountains, glaciers, crystalline lakes, rainforests, condors, guanacos, and mischievous adventurers.
Hyrule-via-Halo.
Utterly wonderful.
Is there life on Mars? For decades, America was in pole position to find out with its multi-mission Mars Sample Return program.
But MSR is now officially dead. And in the race to find alien life on Mars, it’s now China’s to lose.

Great multi-act narrative with voices from both sides of the world and frank talk from the American experts.
This is an excellent article. NASA's Mars entire strategy since the 1990s was aimed at those sample tubes from an old riverbed and lake mud, which we are now poised to abandon
Read this, and understand why it actually really matters that we bring those samples home.
everything goes bump, Lee
EVERYTHING
This is like getting nine alerts every single second, your phone would vibrate itself into vapour
Thanks mate! Shame it’s such a melancholic yarn.
Thanks for helping out with this story! :)
This is oddly hilarious.
